#oracle database training

[megamindsupremacy]

Random things I think would be part of Robin training:

How to navigate Gotham while tied up in the back of a car blindfolded

Courses in how to type faster and more efficiently. I bet the Batcomputer has a crazy stenographer (?) keyboard so everyone can type reports faster than the speed of light

The basics of swordfighting

Gun handling and dismantling

The basics of trapeze use

Once Dick is older, Robin training is less "the basics of" and more "you will be a certified trapeze artist so help me god"

Poison identification and immunity

Poison Ivy-specific poison identification and immunity

How to take down Superman without Kryptonite

How to take down the rest of the Justice League too, but Bruce does focus on Superman, poor guy

Random Jeopardy trivia because you never know when you’ll need it

The Geneva Conventions in its entirety and how they as a vigilante group are breaking many of its standards

How to lie, specifically how to pretend to be bad at lying (its an art form at that point)

How to play piano

How to tell if that's a normal fish or one that's spying on you for Aquaman

How to get out of Sticky Situations in 10+ languages

How to use a grappling hook (for grappling reasons)

How to use a grappling hook (creative applications)

Hacking 101 (getting into the Pentagon is the first test. Getting into the Watchtower is the second test. Getting into Oracle's databases has yet to be accomplished)

How to do that "disappear while his back is turned" thing to Commissioner Gordon

Flufftober Day 13: Attic, Cellar, Hidden Rooms

A/N: I took a bit of creative liberties here and decided that the batcave is close enough to a cellar and/or hidden room and the clocktower is close enough to an attic 😅 - mod angel

Pairing: Jason Todd x GN!Reader

Summary: You’re helping Oracle with patrol watch until you need to comfort a mildly injured vigilante.

~~~

You never thought you’d be able to see vigilantes in action like this. But, considering you were already aware of everyone’s identities at this point, and with how close you had become with everyone, you were invited to help watch over everyone on patrol. 

Barbara had invited you to the clocktower one day, saying she could use an extra pair of eyes while everyone was out on patrol. Really, she probably just overheard you say how much you wished you could see everyone in action. 

The first thing you noticed when you entered the room was all the monitors. Various tracking maps, security cameras, databases… all on huge screens that towered over you. 

“Whoa…” you breathed, awestruck. 

Barbara turned her head towards you, smiling. “Welcome to my utopia,” she announced with a flourish of her hands. 

You walked over to her desk, really getting a feel for all the technology in the room. You ran your fingers over the table, feeling the smooth wood under your skin. All that was on the desk was a keyboard. There was no need for paper with all those monitors, you guessed. 

“Impressive,” you muttered, transfixed by watching all the movement on the screens. “What happens if the power goes out?”

“Very powerful generators,” she replied, gesturing to one that was sitting under the desk. “We have quite the budget.”

“Right,” you laughed lightly, crouching down next to the desk. “So, what am I looking at?”

She started pointing out each part of the monitors: the locations, which of the moving dots corresponded to which person, the cases that were currently being worked on…

“Oracle,” you suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from Barbara’s comm link. “I need sights on a group of robbers near Gotham National Bank. I’m in pursuit, trying to keep myself out of their sight, and I need to know where I can cut them off.”

“I’ll get right on that, Hood,” she replied, sounding very professional as she started clacking away at her keyboard. 

“Hood?” You asked her quietly, looking at the dot on the map she said was Jason moving very quickly away from the bank. She nodded without breaking her concentration. 

Almost without thinking, you started shouting, “Hi Ja-“ you cut yourself off, suddenly remembering the circumstances you were in when Barbara gave you a stern look. “Hi Red Hood!” You shouted, fixing yourself. 

“Huh?” You heard him reply, confused. “Is that- AH!” 

Suddenly, you heard a loud crash! and saw the dot on the map stop abruptly. You widened your eyes and covered your mouth in shock.

“… Hood?” Barbara asked as you looked at each other, her eyebrows raised. 

“Shit,” he groaned, and you could hear the clanking of metal from around him. “Uh… yeah, I don’t think I’m catching those robbers,” he sighed. “Is anyone else around? I’m going back to the Batcave.”

There was various chatter over the comms, from what you could hear over Barbara’s laughing, before one of the other dots on the map started moving towards where Jason was. 

“You wanna go meet him there?” Barbara asked, covering her comm for a second. 

“Do I wanna…?” You repeated quietly, your eyes widening. “Uhh, am I allowed in the Batcave?”

She shrugged. “Batman’s not there. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” She started clacking on her keyboard again. “I can give you access. I trust you.”

“O… okay…” you muttered, standing up. “I guess I’ll just… go there, then…” You never thought you’d be allowed in the Batcave. It was kind of exciting. 

You followed the directions Barbara gave you, eventually going through some secret tunnels and emerging in a huge, yet oddly well-kept cave. Computers, training equipment, and various vehicles were in their designated places. The place was basically devoid of people, except for…

“Fuck,” you heard a familiar groan, making you stifle a laugh. His steps echoed throughout the quiet cave, sounding like they were coming closer to you. 

You popped out of where you had been standing behind a car, making Jason drop his helmet. That made you really start laughing. 

“Jesus, why are you surprising me so much today?” He asked as you moved closer to him. He looked like he was holding back a smile. “Are you even allowed to be here?”

You shrugged, tucking yourself into his side. “Oracle let me in.”

“Of course she did,” he replied, wrapping his arm around your waist. “Nothing is sacred to that girl.”

As you got a better look at his face, you frowned. Bruises were starting to form on his cheek. “What happened, by the way?” You asked, pointing to them. 

He grit his teeth, looking at you pointedly. “I was chasing people when someone distracted me, and I…” He sighed, rubbing the back of his head. “I ran into a bunch of trash cans.”

You covered your mouth, trying not to laugh hysterically, but absolutely failing.

“Hey, don’t laugh,” he rolled his eyes, a slight grin on his face. “It’s your fault.”

“Yeah, yeah,” you shook your head, gently tracing the bruises. “It’s alright, I can make it better.” You stood up on your tiptoes to press a little kiss to his cheek. 

He scoffed, looking like he was blushing a bit as he looked away from you. “I’m not five, that’s not going to work.” He ruffled your hair, making you giggle. “I’ll be fine, no major damage. I’ve been through a lot worse,” he sneered. 

You rolled your eyes. “Not everything has to be about your death,” you poked him in the side, making him laugh. “C’mon, let’s go see Alfred for some first aid.”

Oracle co-founder and the company’s executive chairman and chief technology officer Larry Ellison is trying to persuade governments to descend deep into AI-powered surveillance dystopia by centralizing the entirety of their national data in a single place.

And when he says everything should go into this “unified” database, Ellison means everything. That includes health-related data, such as diagnostic and genomic information, electronic health records, DNA, data on agriculture, climate, utility infrastructure…

Once in there, it would be used to train AI models, such as those developed by Oracle – Ellison shared with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair during a panel at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

Damien's Bedtime Stories #3

Damien morning by morning had scribbled notes in incredibly legible cartography for his age writing what he had learned from his eldest brother to his father and now it was time to get the opinion of The Oracle, the hero who had roamed the streets of Gotham the longest outside of his father, due to Dick’s absence and focus on Bludhaven. He knew the importance of a clear head, of reflecting on one's emotions but not allowing their complete control, he knew he needed to trust his team and his family, and he knew he needed independence through it all. So he went up to Bab’s as she rolled to the living room to sit by the fire on her night off of patrol and asked simply,

Barbara, I am collecting data. I have already asked father and Dick their opinions on my query. You see I wish to learn to better myself as a Robin, as a Bat in ways that I wouldn’t discover on my own. Independence, family, a clear head, and emotional security, those are the lessons they’ve taught me so I ask you Babarba what, to you, made you truly realize what it meant to be a Bat?

Babs: 

Essentially you’re brother and father have trauma dumped to you because you asked and now you want me to to give you some profound wisdom to help you be a better crime fighter via my trauma

Essentially I suppose, yes.

If that's what you want, sure I’m down. Where do I begin… Jason had recently died, that hit me like a truck but affected your father even worse… I don’t think I've ever seen the bat more in despair, more destroyed, that close to breaking his one rule and the Joker was still at large. 

He wouldn’t let me patrol, didn’t stop me but I was solo… 

That's when the Joker kidnapped my father and broke into my apartment… before my reflexes I trained so hard to maintain could kick in. I remember my mind flashing, seeing Jason’s scorched body in that tiny scorched Robin suit…

My nerves shot and I froze in place… I couldn’t move and that's when I felt the sharp pain pierce my stomach and exit my spine… as a chunk of hot lead hit the floor so did my body and I heard the same horrid laughter that sent Jason off to his death… what he did next I can’t… even in this line of work… I still can’t speak of it… I was broken inside… eventually, I recovered, Bruce saved my father, Bruce nearly killed the Joker but managed to stop himself but I was broken inside, I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t fight, I didn’t know what I could possibly do, I wasn’t batgirl anymore, I didn’t know what I was… I wish I could say the call for justice made everything right but it didn’t and I must have spent a month sulking in a deep depression, I lost my will to survive… but you know what I did young Damian.

I persevered. 

Yes, it took time but I discovered ways I could help even in my state ways beyond Bruce’s brains… Why do you think when Tim needs problem-solving advice he comes to me first? I persevered, I found a way, I trained with batons and learned to fight around my chair but that's not how I helped, I used my knowledge, my database, my eidetic memory. I became Oracle. If it wasn’t for my inner knowledge of battle strategy, of bat family secrets, and my constant surveillance of the streets… half our family would be dead. During Carrie’s second run as Robin, we had her and Red Robin patrolling the streets while Bruce and the Justice League were away fighting an alien invasion over West City and Dick unable to help due to him and the Titans handling trouble deep in space with Guy Gardner. It was just us 3 and Cobblepot had manipulated the Killer Crock to use him as muscle. The streets were flowing with blood as a creature lurked in the sewer… if I didn’t have surveillance Carrie would have been bitten in half and if I didn’t memorize every strategy Bruce had ever used then Red Robin wouldn’t have been able to corner Crock and catch him while keeping all his limbs intact, and if I didn't have an intense knowledge of Penguin’s previous escape routes then the police wouldn’t have been able to corner him before he got away and started this fiasco all over again. Resilience, Damian, and perseverance are what made me truly realize who I was as a bat. 

Thank you, Barbara… I found that answer… outstanding… I don’t offer these lightly so take the opportunity… do you… do you require a hug?

I’ll take a hug, you little dork. 

Damianian’s curiosity and respect for his sister grew as he had learned once more what it meant to be a bat. His journal would be filled with details about preservation and his sister’s battles. He was growing, and learning.

[chappydev]

I don't really think they're like, as useful as people say, but there are genuine usecases I feel -- just not for the massive, public facing, plagiarism machine garbage fire ones. I don't work in enterprise, I work in game dev, so this goes off of what I have been told, but -- take a company like Oracle, for instance. Massive databases, massive codebases. People I know who work there have told me that their internally trained LLM is really good at parsing plain language questions about, say, where a function is, where a bit oif data is, etc., and outputing a legible answer. Yes, search machines can do this too, but if you've worked on massive datasets -- well, conventional search methods tend to perform rather poorly.

From people I know at Microsoft, there's an internal-use version of co-pilot weighted to favor internal MS answers that still will hallucinate, but it is also really good at explaining and parsing out code that has even the slightest of documentation, and can be good at reimplementing functions, or knowing where to call them, etc. I don't necessarily think this use of LLMs is great, but it *allegedly* works and I'm inclined to trust programmers on this subject (who are largely AI critical, at least wrt chatGPT and Midjourney etc), over "tech bros" who haven't programmed in years and are just execs.

I will say one thing that is consistent, and that I have actually witnessed myself; most working on enterprise code seem to indicate that LLMs are really good at writing boilerplate code (which isn't hard per se, bu t extremely tedious), and also really good at writing SQL queries. Which, that last one is fair. No one wants to write SQL queries.

To be clear, this isn't a defense of the "genAI" fad by any means. chatGPT is unreliable at best, and straight up making shit up at worst. Midjourney is stealing art and producing nonsense. Voice labs are undermining the rights of voice actors. But, as a programmer at least, I find the idea of how LLMs work to be quite interesting. They really are very advanced versions of old text parsers like you'd see in old games like ZORK, but instead of being tied to a prewritten lexicon, they can actually "understand" concepts.

I use "understand" in heavy quotes, but rather than being hardcoded to relate words to commands, they can connect input written in plain english (or other languages, but I'm sure it might struggle with some sufficiently different from english given that CompSci, even tech produced out of the west, is very english-centric) to concepts within a dataset and then tell you about the concepts it found in a way that's easy to parse and understand. The reason LLMs got hijacked by like, chatbots and such, is because the answers are so human-readable that, if you squint and turn your head, it almost looks like a human is talking to you.

I think that is conceptually rather interesting tech! Ofc, non LLM Machine Learning algos are also super useful and interesting - which is why I fight back against the use of the term AI. genAI is a little bit more accurate, but I like calling things what they are. AI is such an umbrella that includes things like machine learning algos that have existed for decades, and while I don't think MOST people are against those, I see people who see like, a machine learning tool from before the LLM craze (or someone using a different machine learning tool) and getting pushback as if they are doing genAI. To be clear, thats the fault of the marketing around LLMs and the tech bros pushing them, not the general public -- they were poorly educated, but on purpose by said PR lies.

Now, LLMs I think are way more limited in scope than tech CEOs want you to believe. They aren't the future of public internet searches (just look at google), or art creation, or serious research by any means. But, they're pretty good at searching large datasets (as long as there's no contradictory info), writing boilerplate functions, and SQL queries.

Honestly, if all they did was SQL queries, that'd be enough for me to be interested fuck that shit. (a little hyperbolic/sarcastic on that last part to be clear).

Strategic Database Solutions for Modern Business Needs

Today’s businesses rely on secure, fast, and scalable systems to manage data across distributed teams and environments. As demand for flexibility and 24/7 support increases, database administration services have become central to operational stability. These services go far beyond routine backups—they include performance tuning, capacity planning, recovery strategies, and compliance support.

Adopting Agile Support with Flexible Engagement Models

Companies under pressure to scale operations without adding internal overhead are increasingly turning to outsourced database administration. This approach provides round-the-clock monitoring, specialised expertise, and faster resolution times, all without the cost of hiring full-time staff. With database workloads becoming more complex, outsourced solutions help businesses keep pace with technology changes while controlling costs.

What Makes Outsourced Services So Effective

The benefit of using outsourced database administration services lies in having instant access to certified professionals who are trained across multiple platforms—whether Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or cloud-native options. These experts can handle upgrades, patching, and diagnostics with precision, allowing internal teams to focus on core business activities instead of infrastructure maintenance.

Cost-Effective Performance Management at Scale

Companies looking to outsource dba roles often do so to reduce capital expenditure and increase operational efficiency. Outsourcing allows businesses to pay only for the resources they need, when they need them—without being tied to long-term contracts or dealing with the complexities of recruitment. This flexibility is especially valuable for businesses managing seasonal spikes or undergoing digital transformation projects.

Minimizing Downtime Through Proactive Monitoring

Modern database administration services go beyond traditional support models by offering real-time health checks, automatic alerts, and predictive performance analysis. These features help identify bottlenecks or security issues before they impact users. Proactive support allows organisations to meet service-level agreements (SLAs) and deliver consistent performance to customers and internal stakeholders.

How External Partners Fill Critical Skill Gaps

Working with experienced database administration outsourcing companies can close gaps in internal knowledge, especially when managing hybrid or multi-cloud environments. These companies typically have teams with varied technical certifications and deep domain experience, making them well-equipped to support both legacy systems and modern architecture. The result is stronger resilience and adaptability in managing database infrastructure.

Supporting Business Continuity with Professional Oversight

Efficient dba administration includes everything from setting up new environments to handling failover protocols and disaster recovery planning. With dedicated oversight, businesses can avoid unplanned outages and meet compliance requirements, even during migrations or platform upgrades. The focus on stability and scalability helps maintain operational continuity in high-demand settings.

Integrating CRM with ERP Systems: A Game-Changer for UAE Companies

In today’s digitally driven business landscape, UAE companies are under increasing pressure to streamline operations, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and remain competitive. One of the most powerful strategies to achieve these goals is integrating Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. When properly executed, this integration becomes a game-changer—offering UAE businesses unified access to customer insights, sales data, finance, and operations in one seamless ecosystem.

Understanding CRM and ERP: Two Vital Systems

CRM systems are designed to manage a company’s interactions with current and potential customers. They support activities such as sales tracking, marketing automation, customer service, and lead management. On the other hand, ERP systems streamline back-end operations, including finance, inventory, supply chain, HR, and procurement.

While each system is valuable on its own, combining their functionalities allows businesses to unify front-end and back-end processes—offering a holistic view of operations and customer engagement.

Why Integration Matters for UAE Companies

Enhanced Customer Experience In the UAE’s competitive market, especially in sectors like retail, real estate, hospitality, and finance, delivering a personalized customer experience is essential. Integrating CRM with ERP gives customer-facing teams access to real-time data on product availability, order status, pricing, and more—allowing them to respond to customer needs more accurately and promptly.

Increased Operational Efficiency Manual data entry and switching between disconnected systems are major time-wasters. Integrated systems eliminate redundancy and reduce the risk of errors. UAE companies can automate workflows such as order-to-cash, procurement, and inventory updates, ensuring smoother operations across departments.

Data-Driven Decision-Making Integration creates a centralized database that combines customer behavior, sales trends, and operational performance. Business leaders in the UAE can use these insights for better forecasting, targeted marketing, improved financial planning, and agile decision-making.

Improved Sales and Inventory Management For distribution and retail companies in the UAE, linking sales data from CRM with inventory levels in ERP ensures sales teams never promise out-of-stock items. Real-time inventory visibility allows for better demand planning and customer satisfaction.

Scalability for Growing Businesses UAE businesses aiming to scale regionally or internationally need systems that grow with them. A unified CRM-ERP platform ensures that as operations expand, customer data and business processes remain aligned across locations and departments.

Industries in the UAE Benefiting Most from Integration

Retail & E-commerce – Improved customer service, streamlined logistics, and personalized marketing.

Real Estate – Unified tenant and property management, sales automation, and financial tracking.

Manufacturing & Distribution – Better order management, inventory visibility, and client communication.

Professional Services – Efficient project management, billing, and client interaction.

Choosing the Right CRM-ERP Integration Solution

When selecting integration solutions in the UAE, companies should consider:

Scalability – Can the platform grow with your business?

Local Compliance – Does it support VAT and UAE regulatory standards?
